Wires On Fire - [I]Homewrecker[/I]
and more Beat Happening

[QUOTE=Luxor]Q And Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep[/QUOTE]

I've listened to that album many times, and it was just annoying. I might give it another chance.

Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Wilco - Summerteeth
Beck - Odelay!

Against Me! - [i]Reinventing Axl Rose[/i]
Against Me! - [i]Crime EP[/i]
Against Me! - [i]Acoustic EP[/i]
[b]I'm seeing them on Tuesday. Should be good.[/b]

The Macc Lads - [i]20 Golden Crates[/i]
[b]Brilliantly mysoginist and offensive northern punk with a kazoo. My favourite songs are [i]Beer & Sex & Chips & Gravy[/i], [i]No Sheep 'Til Buxton[/i] (about sheepshagging, naturally) and [i]Knock Knock[/i] which starts with this exchange:
"Knock, knock"
"Who's there?"
"Thatcher"
"Thatcher who?"
"That's ya mother getting rogered in a gangbang the other night.[/b]

Murs & Slug - [I]Felt Vol. 2: A Tribute to Lisa Bonet[/I]

and also [I]The Jaki Byard Experience[/I], upon reading that Rahsaan plays on this record.

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]I don't like Harper, nor do I understand why other people like him. Will this change my mind?[/QUOTE]

Probably not.

What do you not like about him (other thanmost of his singles, cuz they're pretty crap).??

pixiesfanyo 03-19-2006 04:21 PM

^ no one cares.

Joy Division - Peel Sessions

Yum.

Little Man being Erased 03-19-2006 06:16 PM

Sons and Daughters - [I]The Repulsion Box[/I]
Talking Heads - [I]Remain in Light[/I]
Bob Dylan - [I]John Wesley Harding[/I]
Elvis Costello - [I]My Aim is True[/I]
The Veils - [I]The Runaway Found[/I]

I'm still a little perplexed as to why I never see any mention of The Veils around here. [I]The Runaway Found[/I] is a quality album.

Glitterati 03-19-2006 06:53 PM

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]^ no one cares.

Joy Division - Peel Sessions

Yum.[/QUOTE]

Mmmm....Peel Session, the album that really got me into Joy Division. She's Lost Control is so good.

I'm digging Matisyahu today! Normally I'm not really into reggae, but this guy is damn good.

Iai 03-19-2006 07:13 PM

A couple bootlegs I found of Elliott Smith and Afghan Whigs. The former's cover of Jealous Guy is brilliant.

Kayetan 03-19-2006 07:27 PM

The Books.

They just equate to awesomeness.

Zebra 03-19-2006 07:36 PM

Afghan Whigs - Congregation

I actually forgot how great this album really is. It's much better then [I]Gentlemen[/I] and [I]1965[/I]

pixiesfanyo 03-19-2006 09:25 PM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Manic Street Preachers - [I]Holy Bible[/I]

Finally getting around to listening to them. This is a lot better than I expected it to be.[/QUOTE]

It's a great album.

But I never can get through it, maybe because it's too depressing?

Or just because it's too samey and long.

biografiend 03-19-2006 10:24 PM

Heart - The Essential Heart
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters
Animal Collective - Here Comes the Indian, Prospect Hummer
Vashti Bunyan - Lookaftering, Just Another Diamond Day

Daniel! 03-19-2006 11:46 PM

Television - [I]Marquee Moon[/I]
Eric B. & Rakim - [I]Paid In Full[/I]
Meat Puppets - [I]Meat Puppets II[/I]
Mischief Brew - Very cool bootleg with a full band

Tangy zizzle 03-20-2006 04:04 AM

I picked up Pink Mountaintops' Axis of Evol this afternoon. It's pretty cool, but really doesn't form too much. I'll upload a review at a laterrrrrr date.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]What do you not like about him (other thanmost of his singles, cuz they're pretty crap).??[/QUOTE]

I just find that whole style really boring I guess. I've got two of his albums and they just never did anything for me.

Jesu, with their 20 minute tracks, evidently didn't rack up enough plays.

And since then, I've been digging a really good video of Radiohead live on Letterman. I don't know what the song is, but I really like the performance.

I've only listened to half the bands on that list, but I like all five of them. Maybe I should check out the other half.

ATM 03-20-2006 10:52 AM

HORSE the Band's keyboard player looks like Napolean Dynamite

Jonny_ 03-20-2006 11:03 AM

At the moment:

Does he love you - rilo kiley
I'm afraid of everything - Son, Ambulance
I Had to get back east - David Dondero

All brilliant and on repeat at the moment.
